tea, pepper and spices are left to stand open and
lose their strength; potatoes in the cellar grow
and the sprouts are not removed until the pota-
toes become worthless; brooms are never hung
up, and are very soon spoiled; nice handled

Is left with the dough sticking to it. These are
some OF the reasons cited by an observant critic
why there IS room for improvement in the con-
duct OF the average American kitchen.
A spiced round of beef was thus prepared by
an experienced cook: The bone had been taken
out OF this large. smoothly-cut round of beef a
week before it had been dressed, and it had been
rubbed with little powdered saltpeter A tea
cup of mixed spices, thyme and coarse sugar had
been kept by, with which it was rubbed daily,
and the cavity from which the bone was taken
was kept filed with this mixture. When ready
to cook it was larded by drawing under the sur
face, with Harding needle, strips of pork cut
like coarse yarn. These we're put through regu-
iarly, as to form small tufts, as we see in
some SOrtS OF WOrSle0 Work. The bone cavity
was filled with fine dropped pork. cracker crumbs
and spices It was baked in coarse crust for
about Ave hours, and when cold, vanished with
currant jelly until it looked like a fine piece of
carved mahogany. This, as all other meats,
must be carved across the grain.
There is something very wonderful and inter-
estng about the culture of tulips. Any one can
start up new variety and give it name. The
seedlings generally when they first bloom pro-
duce flowers without any stripes or markings,
but with yellow base, the upright portions of
the petals being self-colored, brown, red purple,
scarlet or rose. These are planted every year
until they break into stripes, when, if the mark
ings are fine or different from any known, they
are named. In bed of hundred seedlings it
is not probable that any two will be very nearly
alike in their markings An almost endless va
riety can be obtained. They are great addi-
ton to the window garden. If in autumn they
are planted singly in small pots filed with light,
rich soil, they will flower extremely we'll Flor

and new variety has appeared that bids fair
to rival the dahlias Indeed, they are often
taken for yellow dahlias But one good thing
about them is that they are hardy and perennial

The Way Of the World.

The world made when a born
He must taste for himself the forbidden springs
He never take warning from old fashioned things.
He must fight as a boy, he lnust drink as youth:
He must kiss, he must love. he must swear to the
truth
OF the friend of his soul; he must laugh to scorn
The hint of deceit in a wornan's eyes
That are clear the wells of Paradise
And so he gees on, till the world goes old
Till his tongue has grown cautious. his heart has
grown cold
Till the smile leaves his mouth and the ring leaves mis-
laugh,
And he shrks the bright headache you ask him to
quaff;
He grows formal with men and with women polite.
And dstrustfu of both when they're out of his sight
Then he eats for his palate and drinks for his head
And loves for his pleasure-and It is time he we're
dead!

That he is dead. He is just away!
With a CHEEKY smile, and wave Of the hand
He has wandered into an unknown land
And left US dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be, since he fingers there
And you-O you who the widest yearn
For the old time step and the glad return,
Think of him faring on as dear
In the love of there as the love Of here:
And loyal still, as he gave the blows
Of his warrior strength to his country's foes
Mild and gentle as he brave
When the sweetest love of his life he gave
To simple things:-Where the violets grew
Pure as the eyes they were iikened to-
The touches of his hands have stayed
As revereutly as his lips have prayed.
When the little brown thrush that harshlv cbirred
Was dear to him as the hooking Bird
And he pited as much as man in pain
A writhing honey bee wet with rain
Think of him still as the same, say
He is not dead-he is just away!
